Andrew H... jerk sees as jerk is...Amazon is NOT a publisher, B&N is NOT a publisher... Gollancz/Orion IS a publisher... if you can't/won't get the difference and are so hung up on the "library" word then I really feel that is your problem, not mine...
You may want to consider the Mirriam Webster extended definition of library as well:
Definition of LIBRARY
1
a : a place in which literary, musical, artistic, or reference materials (as books, manuscripts, recordings, or films) are kept for use but
not for sale
b : a collection of such materials
2
a : a collection resembling or suggesting a library
b : morgue 2
3
a :
a series of related books issued by a publisher
b : a collection of publications on the same subject
Seems 1a knocks out your retail examples and 3a supports the PR from Gollancz/Orion...
